Enjoyed a 3 night stay here & loved every bit of it. Great stay for the price. Room was very clean, staff was super helpful & friendly. Area around the property felt very safe & had lots to do! Had a hiccup adding an additional day; manager Latisha and staff Brey cleared it up very efficiently & accommodated for any inconvenience. This will absolutely be a go to hotel for us! Very pet-friendly & great for service animals as well!

This room was horrid. Old and down right disgusting. The things I mentioned to the staff were the blinds did not close, it was a handicap room. Besides that the tub was gross, no plug and rust around the drain. There was blood splatters on the wall. To top off this challenging overnight. A pizza delivery man woke me up banging on my door. It was the wrong room. Will never stay there again. IHG would be ashamed

The property looks fine on the outside. The inside is dated. The staff was fine. In the evening the places smells like fried fish and pot, in my opinion. We left some crumbs on a plate and came back to find it covered with ants. Then we started seeing them all over the room. The offered to move us to a different room. We decided the best move was to leave. If you stay there you will see it was worth the extra money to stay at the Hampton Inn.

Very good, on balance
The room was comfortable, spacious, and well-appointed. Check-in and check-out were efficient and simple. My only quibble was that I could never get the WiFi to connect—not a major issue on this brief personal trip, but at other times it would have been an annoyance. For an extended stay, this would be an excellent choice—if the WiFi works!

The hotel isn't horrible but not the best either!! Our thermostat in the room was broken we couldn't change the temperature in our room which sucks. Some things were broken it really just needs an update it wasn't dirty just older. No bugs no ruff raff would stay again if needed.

This was my second stay at Candlewood in Bluffton. The first time I was there, another guest kindly warned me and my grandchildren not to walk on the paths outside the hotel because of snakes. I assumed the guest must have seen one. On my visit this past weekend, my Granddaughter asked me why there was a box with a hole in it by the front door? I walked closer and the box said, "Danger, Do Not Touch, Venomous". I then noticed the boxes were everywhere around the hotel. They obviously are snake traps. How can a hotel stay opened if it has a snake infestation? This left me wondering how many snakes get inside the hotel? I will never return.

Our room was very dirty. The overhead lights in the kitchen/main portion of the unit did not function, staff was informed of this after check in but the issue was never addressed. The paint & trim around the bathroom door was damaged, as if the door had been forced open, and the lock did not function. There was dirty adhesive residue in the shower where some type of dispenser used to be, and most of all there was mold in & around the AC unit. Every morning we woke up coughing and full of phlegm, as if we’d both smoked a pack of cigarettes the night before. Aside from all this, it’s a convenient location, however next time we will stay at the Hampton Inn next door.

We have stayed in Candlewood Suites in other locations. We found that the door latch broken in the room so we had to do a makeshift safety latch at night. We asked at the desk about an ice machine and was told that there was one in the room freezer. This was after having to wait on the desk lady and housekeeping to finish their chit-chat. We explained it did not work. No one offered to bring ice for us. We spilled a cup of water in the elevator by accident. We held the elevator and told the front desk. The lady never got up to look or send someone to clean it up even though we stressed it is a fall hazard. We finally left. This will be the last time we use a Candlewood facility. For the price of the room I really expected better service and facility.
